"Good! A harmonious family brings prosperity, that's right!"
Patriarch Zhao was very pleased to see the scene of "harmony in the Zhao family".
Although he values Zhao Guodong and Zhao Qingyun, father and son.
But as the head of a family, he would rather see every family have loving fathers and filial sons, friendly brothers and respectful younger brothers, harmonious families, and mutual help and love.
If Gu cried and made a fuss today, Patriarch Zhao would seek justice for her and try to recover all the money owed by the old house.
Even if you can't get the money back, you have to write an IOU or pay off the debt with something.
But deep down, Patriarch Zhao would also label the Gu family as ignorant and not knowing how to consider the overall situation.
After that, there was not much care for Gu's mother and son.
However, Gu did not ask for the debt, but sincerely treated the people in the old house as relatives.
She doesn’t want money, she only wants family love. What a good and virtuous wife she is.
Not to mention, Gu also said that she would not remarry and she would remain faithful to Zhao Guodong.
Patriarch Zhao's satisfaction with the Gu family has reached its peak.
"Gu, you're fine!"
Turning around, the Zhao clan leader nodded vigorously at Gu Qingcheng, "Don't worry, Zhao Dashan's family will take care of you, and even our clan will find ways to help you."
As for the title of virtuous woman, he will also find a way to apply for it as soon as possible.
With the identity of "chaste woman", the life of Gu mother and her two children will be better.
"Thank you, Patriarch! No wonder my husband says you are the most respected, fair and just elder in Zhao Village!"
Gu Qingcheng's eyes were full of gratitude, and her kind words were spoken as if they were free of charge.
Patriarch Zhao burst into laughter.
However, after laughing twice, he swallowed his laughter back after his eyes fell on the hemp clothes on Gu Qingcheng, mother and son.
Cough! Cough cough!
Zhao Guodong had just been buried, and the mother and her two children were still in heavy mourning.
After coughing a few times, Patriarch Zhao eased his embarrassment.
He looked at Zhao Dashan and Old Lady Zhao again, "Zhao Dashan, you all heard what Gu said."
"Look for yourselves, how virtuous and filial the Gu family is!"
"And the two little brothers Qingyun and Qingsong are both sensible and smart children."
"Sanlang is no longer with us, so all the past right and wrong, all the love and hate, should be written off."
"Gu treats you as family, you can't treat her badly!"
Zhao Dashan smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Old Mrs. Zhao was a little hesitant.
She had an inexplicable premonition that the Gu family, this "family", did not seem easy to get along with.
She, and the entire Zhao family, might suffer!
Seeing that Old Lady Zhao still dared to show resistance, Patriarch Zhao's face darkened and he said coldly, "Why, you lied when you said you would treat the Gu family as a family?"
"Alright, since we're not family, let's settle the accounts! Bring us all the money you owe to the Gu family!"
As good as Patriarch Zhao's mood was just now, it became as bad as it was when he saw Old Lady Zhao's greedy and mean face.
He simply held out his hand and said, "I heard everything when the Gu family settled the bill. It's a total of 107 taels and 9 qian of silver. Please pay me back."
Humph, what a bunch of ungrateful bastards.
He, the patriarch, and his daughter-in-law, a non-Gu family member, both believed that "harmony in the family brings prosperity."
As a result, these lake mudbugs were not grateful.
Okay, if you don’t want family affection, then just pay me back!
Do you really think that he, the clan leader, can only smooth things over?
If he gets angry, he will directly drive Zhao Dashan and his family out as the patriarch!
Chief Zhao deliberately released the pressure of being the chief of the clan. His rising momentum made it seem as if he was going to "fall out if we can't reach an agreement."
Zhao Dashan was the first to back down, saying "No, I'm not lying" while pushing Old Lady Zhao hard with his hands, "You old woman, stop being so happy and speak quickly!"
joy?
How the hell would I be happy?
That Gu, so charming and crying all the time, must have bad intentions.
Old Mrs. Zhao was upset, but she also knew that now was not the time for her to be upset.
She forced a smile and said, "I didn't lie to Gu. I really treat her as a family member!"
Zhao Da, Zhao Er, Zhao Si and others nodded repeatedly, "Yes! We are a family! We are all a family!"
They were thinking frantically in their hearts: If we are not family, we have to pay back the money!
But the question is, where do they get the silver?
More than twenty taels of silver, I can’t even pay it back even if I sell everything I have!
The wives of Zhao Da and others couldn't help but complain: Mother-in-law, why does she have to show such an expression when she just agrees with her words?
Wasn't she quite good at deceiving Gu in the past? Why did she become so stupid today?
It's just a matter of words and it will be over with some comfort.
Why do you have to make the clan leader and the villagers unhappy?
If things really get out of control, you won’t even be able to buy medicine when you regret it!
"Yes! You must remember that you are all family and must support each other!"
Patriarch Zhao could see that the group of people in the Zhao family's old house were perfunctory. He spoke slowly with a cold face and a calm voice.
"Yes! We know!"
Zhao Dashan and his sons and daughters-in-law nodded.
Patriarch Zhao was still a little worried.
He looked at this group of bastards who obviously didn't regard the Gu mother and son as the head of the family, and then looked at the Gu mother and son, some of whom were weak and some were small.
An idea flashed through his mind, and Patriarch Zhao simply assigned tasks directly: "Gu is weak, and the two Qingyun brothers are young, so the housework will be done by you 'family members'!"
When Gu Qingcheng heard this, a hint of joy flashed in her beautiful almond eyes.
